Faces
Pretty faces make up for everything worse in life. If you are someone who finds themselves getting lost in the beauty of faces, you’d know what I mean. It’s amazing how people turn into pieces of art, with a little attention. You look at a person, the way they talk or move, staring into the vastness of the world outside their window. And you aren’t aware of the thoughts, the voices their mind…

Purple and how?
Long time, no see? I haven’t had anything worthwhile to share but now I do. I went purple, and you’ll be reading about all the things I couldn’t find answers to when needed. Here’s me to the rescue, if you’re planning to dye your hair purple/violet. It’s a bit hard to get the exact purple if you’re a brunette and damaging your hair isn’t an option. I wanted a purple with cooler undertones, but…

Saunter by Arpitta Jairath
A stroll in college compound.
Pigeon I'm a pigeon, I guess we all have been one at some point or the other of our lives.
Thoughtless
I enjoy a great deal at being nothing. Nothingness is ephemeral but at least it’s soothing. It provides you with the stability and the energy to begin again. Am I still thoughtless if I have thoughts about being thoughtless? It’s like being stressed about not being stressed about anything. 3 am, bewildering thoughts. But here’s a quote and a picture for you. “Life is but life, and death but…

Billu! The first cat I ever loved. I found him while roaming around the college campus. It was the first year of the college, everything was new and this newness led to the series of firsts.
2014
Trying to know him
Year 2014, I found him while roaming around the college campus. It was the first year of the college, everything was new and this newness led to the series of firsts. The first time I saw him, he was relaxing on the ramp, which happened to be my favourite part of the college for all the trees it’s surrounded with. I was so excited to have touched him. I don’t remember much about that day, but the meetings became frequent. I’d say we became friends but for all I know, it was one-sided mostly, maybe he loved me too. Every now and then I’d see him from afar and call him and he’d come running towards me, showering me with head bumps, rubbing himself all over me, covering me with his hair, but hey cat hair is lonely peoples’ glitter. (was he marking me as his own by leaving his scent on me?) I’d spot him from the classroom (ah that room, room no 12) window, often he would be sitting on the stairs at the backside of college canteen, mostly hungry other times sleepy. All in all, I spent a lot of time with him during first and a half year of my college life. He was almost as close to me as my other new friends were. While they’d bunk lectures and go out, I’d be staying at the college for it was always fun having him all to myself. I became really close to him. He used to brighten my days like nobody else. Okay maybe I was lonely or just an introvert, but people aren’t my forte. Cats aren’t easy but at least they don’t make you anxious.
2015
Feb’15
Year 2015, I was such a fan of Billu, he got me addicted to the cat videos, I’d watch them all the time, read about cat behaviour and everything related to them. Few hours spent with a cat in college started to seem a little less, I wanted more, I wanted them around all the time. And, so I decided to adopt a pair of cats. Phoebe and Lizzy. 4th of May, what a day it was. Having cats of my own wasn’t easy because parents can be fussy. But I was too. They became my happy. Now, I had three cats. However, as Billu started to grow older he would come to college a lot less then he used to. We wouldn’t meet for months. It made me sad but with Phoebe and Lizzy, it got a bit sidelined. Now, I wouldn’t stay in college for long, wandering, looking for him because I knew there are two waiting for me at home.
2016
Year 2016, My cats were almost a year old now, around their maturity, reaching the heat cycle, they’d scream all night. It became an issue with my family, they started to resent it. (All the sad stuff omitted, maybe for some other time) Things got out of control so much that we, that I decided to leave them. I abandoned them. I’m and will always be ashamed of it. I can give reasons but none of it can make it right. Yes, I was naive and in a way forced to take that decision but I was warned too. (Also, I am aware of the fact that abandoning pets is a punishable offence in India)
March 24, zero cats, lonely Arpitta. I’d still meet Billu but it was once or twice in months. May’16 was last when I saw him. I had an exam that day, he sat beside my desk in the examination hall.
May’16
Year 2017, graduated and dying of Vitamin Meow deficiency.
Year 2018, College fest was going on, there were people around, many of them, new and old. And there he was, Billu. It didn’t even take me a second to recognize it was him. He of all stayed, even after so long. It was him because of whom I got to experience so much love. It was him who made me discover the parts of myself I never knew existed. It was all because of him. And, I’m only thankful. He had made my days before, turned them from sad to happy in a blink of a second, but there was something special when he did it again after so long, he made my day, saved it. Saved me. January 11th will be remembered. It was the most satisfied I’ve felt in a very long time.
Reunited
2018, The Ramp and us
’18
This post isn’t about me, it isn’t about my cats, it’s about Billu and my love for him. I can’t forget, how the bond grew, the fondness, the attachment, it just reached a new level each day. He somehow, made me believe that I was capable of having two cats. He gave me something I will always cherish.
(In Hindi, the cat is called Billi and hence, Billu. In case you were wondering.)
Until next time.
Saves the day Billu! The first cat I ever loved. I found him while roaming around the college campus. It was the first year of the college, everything was new and this newness led to the series of firsts.

Life in Dal by Arpitta Jairath
Dal is a lake in the city of Srinagar, Kashmir. Life in Dal, is an attempt to capture the essence of what I witnessed on my trip to Kashmir during the November of 17. The two hour long Shikara ride in water with the wind that can numb your hands, was truly an amazing experience.
Cozy Up
Because winter. I was not a fan of winters as a kid, but over the years I have begun to like it. I anticipate the change of seasons, just like I await my hair to grow back so I could cut them again. There’s always a sense of excitement attached to the newness, to the change. Foggy mornings with the mist, softness in the warmth of the Sun, a little more than comfortable nights, the reliefBecause…

Elegance of Self
Self constraint / introspection / rumination How does it feel when your own conscience overpowers your thoughts and actions? When you cease to move forward because you can’t, because it’s too many efforts, because it is too much rule breaking. Who defines these rules? My conscience does. Where does the LOC of mind exist? Who decides when to stop and when to let go, of yourself, of constraints,…

Gorge - on happiness and peace.
Gorge – on happiness and peace.
If you look around and find yourself surrounded by the people facing difficulties being happy, I’d say you live in a world of normalcy. Sadness has become a fashion, with memes and jokes, glorifying its way through humour. Gorging on happiness sure feels good. But it feels even better when you don’t want to dig the reasons for being happy. Leo Tolstoy once said, “If you want to be happy, be.” I…

Relocate - A way of life?
Relocate – A way of life?
It’s hard to have a sense of belongingness when you keep changing places. Moving from one city to other, or from one part of the city to another. Permanence ceases to exist then, in relationships that form with people, surroundings, homes. You get used to separations for they don’t even hurt anymore. Hence, you become the loner who is just assumed to be a cool person because you can do without a…
